Case Study: Healthcare I.T. Infrastructure

Within a few short years, Aspirus’ implementation of Epic EMR across its regional clinic and hospital network — coupled with a burgeoning user base — began unrelentingly taxing the healthcare system’s storage capacity. For the short term, the fast-paced growth required the Aspirus I.T. team to regularly add disk drives to maintain performance levels. Eager to deliver instant, uninterrupted clinician access to critical patient data and to proactively boost performance for the longer term, Aspirus chose an innovative approach to more robust storage management. The system became the first adopter nationwide of EMC flash drive technology used with Epic software on EMC’s CLARiiON storage platform. This bold step immediately yielded measurable rewards, with the flash drive technology providing far superior performance with far fewer disks. It also lowered costs, reduced power consumption and streamlined storage management. Read on to learn more today.
